Tips & Tricks

Install the play tower and place it on the designated space. Please keep a safe distance in accordance with the installation instructions.

Mark all of the tower posts on the ground and dig frost-proof holes (L30 x W30 x D50 cm) into the soil.

Position the climbing frame and install all the anchors, if possible on the hidden side.

Support the anchor with stones or the play equipment with wooden wedges until the frame is level.

Pour concrete up to about 10 cm below the surface. When it is dry, the remaining hole can be filled with topsoil.

Like every natural product, wood also has individual characteristics. Here you can find out more about the typical wood characteristics of our products.

Salt efflorescence

Superficial white to greenish spots

Mixture of exiting resin and ingredients of pressure impregnation

Fades over time due to the weather

Tip: Strongly affected areas can be easily sanded!

Cracks and branches

Branches, grains and pith are part of the characteristics of the wood

Dry cracking is permitted according to DIN 4074

Tip: Cracks with ¼ of the length and ¼ of the width are statistically harmless!

Swelling and shrinking

Volume change due to moisture absorption/drying is typical of wood

To ensure accurate assembly, not all wooden parts are pre-drilled due to possible wood warping

Tip: Unpack your wood immediately and let it dry for at least 2 days before assembly!
